Abstract

AbstractHub transportation facilities are important lifeline projects in cities. Once they are damaged by earthquakes, their functional use will be lost, resulting in significant adverse social impacts. The roof structures of hub transportation facilities are usually made of large‐span steel structures. During service, they bear long‐term vibrations caused by multiple vibration sources such as high‐speed trains and wind loads, resulting in cumulative damage. In addition, the roof structures located in coastal areas may be exposed to a corrosive environment, which can lead to the degradation of structural performance. Currently, the relevant structural design standards do not consider the factor of structural performance variation over time. To address the above problems, this study adopts a time‐dependent constitutive model of steel considering corrosion and damage cumulative to investigate the seismic performance degradation of typical hub transportation facility roof structures. The research results show that the stiffness and seismic performance of 50‐year service hub large‐span roof structure have decreased compared to newly built structures, but the probability of serious damage is lower, indicating that the hub large‐span roof structures have good seismic performance.
